Blast Fat While You Work
May 13, 2009, Posted by adreeza at 8:00 am under Buy It
Desk jobs have a tendency to increase your body fat due to inactivity. The same thing goes for anyone who sits for long periods of time. Inactivity is your enemy. If you know you sit for several hours a day then this may be the solution. This innovative chair helps to active your core muscles (all muscles from your hips to your chest) while you sit.
The BalanceBall Chairfrom Gaiam combines the benefits of sitting on a balance ball (engaged abdominal and back muscles and improved posture), but with the added benefit of back support (source)
If you are really motivated, you can take the ball off the chair and do crunches and other various exercises on your break. Forget the coffee; get moving and increase your heart rate. It’s far more affective and rewarding.

OMG!! I could really get busy with this while talking to my ATT customer about their phone service…I showed this to my manager, Vay, she cracked up laughing saying she could just see me using it too…so funny..lol
I know I would’nt be able to use this at work, but I can definitely use it at home…I’m always on my laptop trying to situp straight, so my back will not hurt…I already have a Balance Ball but not the chair…I’m gonna get this, Dria and I’ll email you a picture..
I still want this!!
